Keertan Gill

Tagged solicitor Keertan Gill

Expecting a long, drawn-out process, with a lot of tiresome questions, I cannot speak more highly of how my claim has been organised and dealt with, with the minimum of fuss. At its conclusion, and the award confirmed, reasons and explanations were given outlining the reasons, why's, and wherefore's, for the amount offered. I could not disagree, and every point was understood. From beginning to end, Winston Solicitors have been open and clear about everything, and though the award is hardly life changing at £3,750, it has made me content to feel that the grievous assault on me has awarded me some personal satisfaction after the Crown Court sentence gave me very little. Thank you Keertan and all at Winston Solicitors.

Rachel Mason

Tagged solicitor Rachel Mason

After reaching out to the firm for help at a really scary time, Rachel Mason was brilliant. I needed to keep a handle on my costs in case matters escalated and so my case was handled by Rachel Mason. She was absolutely fantastic - she was always on hand to answer any of my queries along the way, in a clear and calm way that always left me feeling heard and reassured. She prepared brilliant written submissions to the investigating officer and gave such sensible and clear advice on the best strategy to take, which ultimately resulted in the investigation being dropped. She was cool and calm throughout, holding her nerve with waiting out the very long process of the police investigation and so reassuring when I felt scared along the way. She explained everything so well and communicated clearly and quickly in response to my queries, no matter how busy she was. Her knowledge and strategic advice was fantastic. She was also so empathetic, kind and understanding throughout. I would whole-heartedly recommend Rachel to anyone who finds themselves in the position of needing advice from a criminal solicitor.

Loretta Woollams

Tagged solicitor Loretta Woollams

Where do I start. I was charged and remanded for the alleged offence of kidnap. My life was put on hold and I was placed in forest bank HMP. I was innocent. Wrongly accused and truly distraught. Being placed in an environment where I was scared & angry. Loretta helped me remain positive throughout my experience to the point. She stood her ground and when needed kept me in line. Which I truly respect. I am grateful for all she did for my family and myself and ultimately appreciate all the hard work she & my barrister put in. Forcing the prosecution to drop the case. As there was no evidence. So all I can truly say is. THANK YOU

Kind understanding and professional support from Megan Wright helped me to defend myself and clear all the accusations against me which were thrown out with no further action, against unlikely odds. Great support would highly recommend. Thanks

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

I was represented by Jen at the start of this year. Before having representation, I spent two years being strung along through a drawn-out legal case by the CPS, with multiple adjournments. Jen took over my case and was extremely professional and thorough. She picked everything apart with a fine-tooth comb, stood up and made herself count when I needed it, and had everything settled within 90 days, achieving an outcome ten times better than I could ever have asked or hoped for.
